“It is axiomatic under Connecticut law that, while a [trier of fact] may reject . . . testimony, a [trier of fact] in rejecting such testimony cannot conclude that the opposite is true. State v. Alfonso , 195 Conn. 624 , 634 , 490 A.2d 75 (1985), quoting Novak v. Anderson , 178 Conn. 506 , 508 , 423 A.2d 147 (1979); see also State v. Carter , 196 Conn. 36 , 50 , 490 A.2d 1000 (1985) ( Shea, J., dissenting ) (trier cannot make affirmative factual finding from disbelief of testimony); State v. Mayell , 163 Conn. 419 , 426-27 , 311 A.2d 60 (1972) (jury cannot make affirmative finding from disbelief of obviously concocted alibi testimony of defendant).”
